<br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />FEBRUARY 22, 2005 <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR <br />ALTERNATIVE FUELING PROJECT <br />(SPEC. NO. 05-017) <br /> <br />APPROVED <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1 st Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />f2~~c.Z. <br /> <br />C Y MANAGER <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />vV <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Amend the contract with Gas Equipment Systems, Inc. to increase the <br />aggregate limit by $5,000 for an annual amount not to exceed $15,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Fleet Maintenance Division currently maintains the Corporate Yard <br />Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Slow Fuel System which was installed in <br />2002. The system has four fill stations with eight hoses. The slow <br />fill pressure system can take eight hours to fuel fill eight vehicles. <br />Currently, the system supports the CNG Library bookmobile and six CNG <br />street sweepers for use by the Public Works Agency. In July 2005, the <br />Ci ty will receive two new CNG street sweepers that were ordered in <br />December 2004. As such, the nine CNG vehicles will exceed our current <br />fill station capacity of eight vehicles. The recommended action will <br />provide for another CNG fill station with two hoses to accommodate the <br />additional CNG street sweepers. <br /> <br />In addition, the City establishes blanket order contracts with various <br />vendors on an annual basis. The contracts facilitate purchases and <br />services that are required on a recurring basis and reduce the number <br />of small value orders. The installation of a fifth fill station, when <br />added to the vendor's fiscal purchases will exceed the $10,000 <br />aggregate total, and require Council approval. Staff recommends <br />Council approval of an amendment to the contract. <br /> <br />22G-1 <br /> <br />CS 38;1 <br /> <br />
